Our little Cowboy

Happy birthday Rah-Rah!

A few videos

I just uploaded several photos from my life on to FB. But here are some videos ...

I was reading a talk during Family Home Evening and apparently Luke decided that it wasn't entertaining enough. This is how we ended the lesson.

Ryan loves to look at me and grin & "talk". Apparently he was very excited today (notice the waving arm). It's a long one but you can get the general idea after a bit.

Lucky

So as a mother of 4 children in this day and age, you often get looks and comments especially once people realize that they are all between the ages of 0-6 years. Often, I hear, "Wow! You've got your hands full!" or "Wow! You must be busy!"

Today, on the way into the mall with all four, a gal not much older than me, looked at us and smiling said:

"Wow! You are so lucky!"

Yes, yes I am.

This way or that way?

After a lot of thought, prayer and discussions, Michael decided to not go back to school this fall and has decided not to pursue a teaching career. A lot like the Wights (congrats Shar & Lars), after making the decision and letting his bosses at Veridian know, he was blessed with a full time position with them. He had to move to part time while he was in school so when he decided not to return, he was going to have to wait until a full time position opened up at VCU and then apply. However, VCU has a branch with a lot of Spanish-speaking members and so they created a full time, Spanish-speaking Loan Officer position for him at that branch! This is nearly unheard of within VCU. He had decided on Tuesday, told his bosses on Wednesday, had Thursday off and walked into the offer on Friday!

We feel really blessed!
